Celtic Christmas – A Yuletide Concert with West of Eden

West of Eden is undeniably one of Sweden’s top folk rock bands, acclaimed as "The Best of Contemporary Folk" by Irish Music Magazine. Over the years, they have cultivated a dedicated audience both in Sweden and abroad with their exceptional repertoire, unique folk sound, and the standout, expressive voice of lead singer Jenny Schaub.

Their impressive credentials include collaborations with members of The Chieftains, Mark Knopfler’s band, and Alison Krauss & Union Station, as well as tours in England, Ireland, and even China.

With twelve albums released, West of Eden’s Celtic Christmas recordings and last year’s holiday album, "Next Stop Christmas," have received significant praise in both Swedish and international press. Descriptions such as "A masterpiece of Christmas Music" and "Goosebumps alert" are among the accolades they’ve garnered.
